"There’s no f---ing way I eat on planes," Ramsay told Refinery 29 in a recent interview. "I worked for airlines for ten years, so I know where this food’s been and where it goes, and how long it took before it got on board."

It’s true that Ramsay is no stranger to airline cuisine. For a decade, the celebrity chef worked with Singapore Airlines to help develop their in-flight menu, which included a pan-seared salmon and a rib-eye dish with a red wine sauce.

In 2008, Ramsay also opened a restaurant in Terminal 5 of London’s Heathrow Airport — appropriately called Plane Food — where he serves soups, salads, sandwiches and Asian-inspired cuisine.

When it comes to eating on-the-go, however, Ramsay says prefers to chow down before he hits the skies.

If he has the time, and he’s departing from Heathrow, the restaurateur says he’ll have a pre-flight bite at his own restaurant. If not, Ramsay tells Refinery 29 that he’ll pull up a seat at an airport wine bar for a “light” snack.
